Martina’s first out
TENNIS ace Martina Hingis became the first celebrity to be booted off Strictly last night.
The former Wimbledon champion, 28, and her dance partner Matthew Cutler were voted off the BBC’s flagship show after a dance-off against Crimewatch presenter Rav Wilding and his partner Aliona Vilani.
The judges marked her down for appearing “flat-footed” and “blocky” in her dance movements.
Hingis, who was banned from playing professional tennis two years ago after testing positive for cocaine, said: “It was a great experience, I learnt so much. I wish it could continue, but here we are.”
